Judith McCarthy Obituary

Rio Hondo - Judith K. McCarthy, age 80, of Rio Hondo, Texas passed away on Tuesday, August 12, 2025.

Judith was first a "friend" to everyone. She was always willing to help and welcomed the opportunity to meet

someone new or, as she would say, the wonderful opportunity to run into an old trusted friend. She would say this with her little chuckle and half grin.

Judith was a dedicated licensed real estate broker who found great joy in teaching and training others. Her kindness and integrity were hallmarks of her life, and she was known for her generosity, never seeking anything in return. Judith was an artist, loved nature, the beach, wildlife, and this was reflected in her painting. Her warmth and spirit remained unwavering until the day God took her home. She touched many, many lives, and her legacy of compassion will always be remembered.

Judith's faith in God was strong. She spoke of Him daily no matter what was in store for her that day. She is with God now as she was on earth. We will miss you Judith.

A Visitation for Judith will be held Wednesday, August 20, 2025 from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM with a Committal Service to follow at 2:00 PM at Funeraria Del Angel Mont Meta & Memorial Park, 26170 TX-345, San Benito, TX 78586.

Services are under the guidance of Funeraria Del Angel Mont Meta & Mont Meta Memorial Park. A Dignity Memorial provider.
